Power to weight laws & P plates

[Mr. Oizo]

125kw per tonne mate

(at the flywheel)

Ps. Don't know if your car's a HPV or not? Use my program I did for IT click

is that some sort of virus??

[GTSR22]

oh ok so it is 125 kw per tonne at the flywheels ok thanks for that

[sammus]

is that some sort of virus??

course not. scan it with whatever before running it, if you want. it's just a simple program which does the math to work out if the figures you put (litres, kW, tonnes) in are over 125kW/tonne or 3.5l/tonne. there's even a skyline in it

oh ok so it is 125 kw per tonne at the flywheels ok thanks for that

that and 3.5 litres (engine capacity in litres) per tonne

[DoNNo]

as the vote says

Not in vic, on my Ps, i can drive what i want, when i want... ha ha ha

but my car is far from been close to the power to weight thingy so lol

[GTR-34]

well yes i got a powerful car but i do obey the laws coz i have to now otherwise im pretty screwed. I was driving my car when i first got my license and pretty much copz had no idea on what power a R34 GTR had. It wasnt listed so i was all good until some copper decided to go research on it and then add it to the restriction. So i practically only got 1 month to drive the car and got pulled over about 5 times in this month.

That copper rang me saying if i was caught driving the car again i would face a 2 year banning of my license, i still dont know if its true or not, but its been a year and i have only took it out once on the road by myself then and i had too for special pursposes. Now its just stuck in the garage which i look at every morning wishing to drive it out. But farken cant... Got another 2 years left bloody hell cant i be 21... Farken spewin...I just drive it at the dragz , the only place i can legally...hehe

GTR 34 get yourself a job in the automotive industry, even part time sales, then get your boss to put in to vic roads to get a dispensation for you to drive high powered cars as a requirement for your job. It's worth a try, I know mechanics that have done it. Good luck

[sammus]

or that this is the only car you have access to.

[GTR-34]

it doesnt sound too bad of an idea, i got alot mates in the automative industry its worth a try i guess...ill see how this might go ...

[KamikazeR33]

im glad i have nsw p's

btw i heard there was some course u could do at deca that enables u 2 drive hi powered cars. not 100% sure if this is correct or not but this is what ive heard off a few ppl

[sammus]

would you like to find some more information for us ? :D

[KamikazeR33]

i could try

i dont have deca's phone number in shep tho,.... ill have 2 ask a mate later unless someone else has it

[KamikazeR33]

also melb 2 i think

[MRGTST32]

How bout this ive got a full S.A licence, im 19y.o. When i was on my Ps 16 and a half - 19, i could still drive anything i wanted. I did my Ps test in an auto and i drive a manual.

[Mr. Oizo]

thats illegal in vic..

you must have a manual P license to drive a manual car until you get your full licence

[MSPEC]

I'm on my P's and well over the limit, never had a problem and how can they really prove I have 220 at the wheels anways? Put me on a dyno so I can drop the boost right off

[Blade]

Man this is an old thread lol!

and to add to it...i dont really think police care about the power to weight ratio as long as you drive sensibly and not get noticed you should be fine

[sammus]

ahh... hehe back when the problem was power... it went from power, to insurance, to parts... now i've ran out of things to be worried about

edit: actually... someone find me a full r32 gtst workshop manual which cover more than just the rb20det... that is- chassis, body and electricals

[SLYSX]

i know at least 3 P platers with over 230rwkw in a 180sx, not exaclty legal
